Seems that there’s yet another new early motherhood resource
in town. Baby Bites Brooklyn, an offshoot of Manhattan Baby Bites,
opened in late September, and is offering Brooklyn mothers of 0-3 year
olds, as well as moms-to-be loads of social and educational events
and seminars throughout Brownstone Brooklyn.

Like Park Slope Parents, they want to help Brooklyn women transition into motherhood, by providing a social and
educational forum where moms can connect and learn from experts about
any and all topics relevant to early motherhood.

Headed by Chana Balk, a Brooklyn mother of two and former
corporate lawyer, Baby Bites Brooklyn presents loads to do for new moms to moms of 3-year-olds. Here’s the blurbage from their press release:

There are
luncheons in restaurants for new moms and their babies, where the moms
meet other new moms, hear an expert speak about a topic (such as sleep,
hiring a nanny, best parenting resources in Brooklyn) and take home fun
prizes. There are seminars for expectant moms, where the Brooklyn bumps
come together and learn about topics like breastfeeding, best products
for new moms, their choices in childbirth. Finally, there are special
events, which can be a sample class for parents and babies, or a
seminar on discipline or potty training.  Aimed at moms and dads, post
maternity leave, special events are typically offered on weekends or
evenings.

"The transition to new mommyhood, while amazing and
nothing short of miraculous, is also very overwhelming, and can be a
scary and isolating experience," said Balk. "Motherhood is the most
amazing thing I have done with my life and it is also the most
challenging part of my life. Being a new mother in particular was so
much more overwhelming that I ever anticipated. My hope is that Baby
Bites Broooklyn can be a great resource for Brooklyn moms, where they
can learn, find support and make lasting friendships. I’m thrilled to
be providing such a service."

Baby Bites Brooklyn currently
hosts events in Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Carroll
Gardens. Chana plans to expand into other neighborhoods in 2009,
including Williamsburg, Bay Ridge, DUMBO and Fort Greene.
